Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 712 Gin, completely disoriented

"I'm going to the car. You guys keep an eye on their location for me."

After leaving those words, Conan secretly descended the clock tower.

"What is he going to do?" Iori Muga asked, frowning.

Heiji Hattori didn't answer; he just shrugged.

"A high school detective, you're just going to let a kid do dangerous things?"

"Conan is a small target and easy to hide, and the purpose today is not to catch them. Besides, the three of us can't catch them anyway."

The original plan was to capture Gin and the others, but after an hour of calm, Conan and Heiji Hattori realized their own limitations.

With Saijo Taiga missing, they not only have to capture Gin, but also rescue Saijo Taiga.

We have no choice but to do this now; we need to play the long game.

Not long after, Gin reappeared before Iori Muga and Hattori Heiji, but this time Gin was more menacing than before.

Clearly, he did not find what he was looking for after searching Yulong Temple.

Although there are many smuggled cultural relics here, the value of which is immeasurable, the problem is that the winery has a limited number of people who can come to move them. It is impossible to move them away. If they want to take away the most valuable cultural relics, they must be able to understand them.

More importantly, Gin suddenly suspected that the organization that had swept away Genji Fireflies ahead of time was likely the one that lured them to the docks.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain the coincidence.

If it weren't for the news about the dock, they might have found Yulong Temple long ago, instead of not even smelling its exhaust fumes until now.

The brewery has been operating in secrecy, and very few forces know of their existence. Now, not only are there people vying with them for the Saijo Taiga River, but they have also learned about their plans and schedules. Gin will not be at ease until this mysterious force is eliminated.

As the sky began to lighten and dawn approached, Gin could only prepare to retreat with a sour face.

At this point, Saijo Taiga is the only breakthrough point, and we need to question him immediately.

"Finally gone."

Watching the off-road motorcycles speed away, Conan's heart continued to race. "I've already installed tracking devices on their vehicles. Now I'll have to rely on the Kyoto Prefectural Police."

Iori Muga looked down at Conan, his expression calm, but he couldn't hide the doubt in his eyes: "Strange, you seem to be more than just a kid. Is Kogoro Mouri really that amazing that even the kids around him are becoming more mature under his influence?"

"Hehe, yes."

Conan rolled his eyes in exasperation. Damn it, he'd let Kogoro show off again without him even realizing it.

Not long after Gin left, another motorcycle roared into the air.

Xia Chuan finally arrived late.

"So, where are they?"

Natsukawa removed his mask, glanced at the two high school detectives, and then looked at Iori Muga.

Although he had never met Iori Muga in person, he had seen her in the anime and could easily recognize her.

This person's identity is somewhat mysterious. His original surname was Sakakibara. He seems to have had contact with the brewery many years ago. To be even bolder, he may have even been an undercover agent in the brewery.

"Who is this?"

"Oh, this is a bodyguard of my friend, Mr. Iori Muga, who came to help."

Xia Chuan nodded slightly, not paying much attention, and inquired about Gin.

In fact, he had arrived long ago, but waited until Gin left before coming up to meet up with Conan and his group.

With Ai Haibara's explanation, he was relieved about Taiga Saijo's situation and there was no need for him to intervene. Naturally, there was no need for him to have a conflict with Gin at this stage.

“Gin has left, but as long as they don’t leave Kyoto, they’ll definitely be under our control.” Conan tapped his glasses. He didn’t say too much in front of Iori Muga, thinking that Natsukawa should be able to understand.

Back at the new temporary base, Gin entered the small dark room and couldn't wait to ask about the mysterious group of people.

However, to his bewilderment, Saijo Taiga seemed to have something wrong with him and remained unconscious, showing no reaction even when vodka poured cold water over his head or pressed his arm with a stun gun.

He checked her breathing and found it was normal, just a little weak, which left Gin feeling somewhat helpless.

"Brother, we probably won't be able to get anything out of Saijo Taiga in such a short time. We don't have any doctors or other outsiders in Kyoto. Why don't we bring his men back as well?"

He was referring, of course, to the other Genji Hotaru members who were sent to the Metropolitan Police Department together.

"That's all it can do."

Gin was already annoyed by his fruitless attempt, but the subsequent phone call only fueled his anger.

The Kyoto Prefectural Police informed them that all the Genji members who had been captured were dead, and that they had all died about half an hour earlier, around the time they had just left Gyokuryu-ji Temple.

The mysterious man's actions made Gin feel uneasy, as if his thoughts had been completely read.

But why?

Why did those mysterious people kill Saijo Taiga and the others after they had already taken them to the Prefectural Police Headquarters?

Natsukawa's perplexing behavior caused Gin's thinking to stagnate. He had no idea that Natsukawa's reason for doing this was simply to divert Conan's attention and create an opportunity for the excavation of Gyokuryuji Temple.

The subsequent measures were simply to fix the previous loopholes.

These behaviors combined are baffling.

"How much longer will Tequila and the others take?" Gin suddenly asked.

"I just checked, it shouldn't be that quick. Kenji Mizuo has deposited the money in a multinational bank, and the authentication process is complicated, so it will probably take some time."

Vodka paused for a moment, then glanced furtively at his older brother: "But Vermouth is coming soon."

"If it weren't for her major mistake, we wouldn't have been lured to the dock."

In reality, Gin was very dissatisfied.

If the other party hadn't been Vermouth, the outcome might have been like Ireland's, with him chopping off her fingers.

"You stay here and keep watch, I'm going to call the boss."

"Yes!"

Gin walked to a quiet corner with his hands in his pockets, took out his phone and looked at the number on it, but hesitated to press the call button.

He was actually considering it.

Kyoto was once the place where the brewery's power was strongest, but one day, almost all the personnel withdrew from the place, leaving only one or two hidden agents.

He knew why, so whether the boss would agree to that request was uncertain, and even if he did, it wasn't guaranteed to be done.

But this mysterious force that knows about the organization cannot be ignored.

"Hello, sir, it's me."

"Hmm, I heard things aren't going too well. How's it going now? Did you find any gold at Yulong Temple?"

Karasuma Renya remained calm, as if nothing could affect his emotions.

Moreover, Gin cannot be blamed for losing the gold.

His previous use of Yoshiro Daimon as a pawn was a test of Shinmei Niitaro's abilities. The result was somewhat unexpected, but also reasonable.
